Sim City Societies VS Cities Unlimited

We all know this new game Sim City Societies looks pretty darn good, but we have to understand that this game once it comes out this holiday season, will be a far cry from another new city building game that will be released sometime next year, called Cities Unlimited from Monte Cristo, maker of City Life.

Now I know what your thinking "Oh, but city life was abysmal at best" and it wasn't that impressive, but it layed out the foundation for a much better, new game, which the developer, unlike Tilted Mill, listened to it's users and the people and found out exactly what we wanted in a city building game, realism not just in terrain, but management, and the ability to sculpt the city of your dreams, and actually like it, something I cannot say for Societies unfortunately.

Ultimately, a large majority of people, including those on Simtropolis wanted realism, and the abilities that made Sim City 4 and still does make it one of the best games in that genre of all time. Cities Unlimited will be out most likely next year, maybe during the holiday season or sooner, as some sources leaked.

Regardless, if I haven't caught your attention yet, check out these screenshot comparisons, that perhaps are so dramatically different, they show who actually cares enough to make a worthy city building game like Sim City 4 and it's predecessors.

Sim City DS is "uber" cool

:: SIM CITY DS :: REVIEW ::

This game is really fun guys. It's for the "Big" fan of the Sim City franchise like myself and the "Wtf is Sim City?!" type's too. It's easy to pick up and play, has a variety of diasters you have to manage, fun events like dropping presents off from Santa, or tranqualizing a large monkey when you have alot of pollution in your city. (Which unfortunately seems to be the only way to draw in more people, factories and such).

The other thing I wish they could of changed is you can only build one city at a time. No you can't build one and link it to another your working on like in Sim City 4 or other previous Sim City titles. I wish that could of been changed but I'm guessing it was to make it so the DS could handle it. And even still it lags, which is very strange for the DS. The detail ammount causes slowdowns in the gameplay, and a loading screen. Something you would of expected in the PSP.

But past all that Sim City DS is a fun game that has alot of potential for future titles. It's fun, challenging, and just a breath of fresh air from the normal ds titles. And until Sim City Societies comes out later this year it's a good way to relax and enjoy that classic gameplay until then. And classic is true in the game as well, which plays more like Sim City 3000. Which was a great game, indeed.
